Young Thug has officially launched his new album rollout, unveiling the cover art, new merch and confirming the rumored title, Uy Scuti, to be true.
Taking to X, Thugger simply wrote, “It’s time. Red Planet,” with a link to a new site made for the LP.
The site features multiple items for purchase surrounding the album, including a vinyl edition, a CD, clothing and more.

Earlier this week, a fan spotted a billboard that reads: “UNIVERSE HAS BEEN TOO QUIET. UNTIL NOW. UY SCUTI.”
At the bottom, May 2025 is listed with the actual date replaced with question marks.
This comes just a few weeks after Young Thug held up a jersey that had “UY SCUTI #5” printed on the back at the Heat versus Warriors game, so fans figured this was the name of the album – which will be his first since his release from jail.
Last month, Thug got into a social media spat with a fan after they compared him to Playboi Carti over the new album.
“Yall mfers goin have to beg me to drop this shit nocizzy,” he wrote on X.
One user took issue with Thugger’s post and hit back: “U NOT CARTI LIL BRA,” referencing the long-delayed release of Carti’s latest LP Music.
hat prompted a snappy response from the YSL leader, who wrote back: “I wonder who’s couch you’re on tweeting this.”
After Thugger’s clap-back went viral, receiving over 100,000 likes on the platform, the fan quickly backed down and issued an apology.
“Dear Young Thug (Uy Scuti, King Spider, Jeffery, Sex, Thugger), I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the disrespectful comment I made when I said, ‘U NOT CARTI LIL BRA.’ That was completely out of line, and I deeply regret it,” they replied.
“You are a trailblazer, a legend, and an artist whose influence has shaped the sound and culture of music in ways that go far beyond comparison. My words were thoughtless and fail to reflect the admiration I have for you and your craft.”
The back-and-forth comes shortly after Young Thug appeared to kickstart the rollout for his new album with the aforementioned jersey.
Uy Scuti, which is the name of a supergiant star, is also an Instagram account which only follows Thugger and is followed back by the rapper.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
